Doing something shocking for another

Have you ever come across someone you can reach but can’t and yet want to do something to show them that you have interest, or are committed to them… Or maybe you’ve heard of someone who took an extra step on there own terms to reach the one they care about? Something that surprised or awed their spouse.

I was thinking back to a friend I had on ICQ a few years ago — a girl named Jayne — telling me about her boyfriend. Now, Jayne was deaf and had been that way for a long time… It would seem that not only did her boyfriend have interest in her but he went out of his way in order to make contact with her: He learned sign language specifically so he could just talk to her. I don’t mean he was already in with the girl – I mean he did it just to start talking.

And from what I recall, the two of them ended up married.

That’s just an example of doing something major for someone else. Of course, everyone is going to react differently to different things and that means there is no RIGHT answer to doing something like this… But is there anything that someone has done for you that has shown them going out of there way to do it? Or what would you do to go out of your way for someone else, just to show them you are keenly interested in them?

OK, this is one of those entries where I would like to hear the readers thoughts and comments on this… that’s what the little “COMMENT” link is for :tongue
